Ran Smart Package Manger once and never again. I had to reload many of
the applications I prefer to use after smart package decide to remove
them. The worst thing was it decide to force the issue on the
gnome/kde debate. Smart Package decide I was not to use gnome removed
it and loaded kde for me instead. In the end I had such a mess that
the best thing to do was a full reinstal.
